Brynlee is 8 months

Dear Brynlee,

You are such a ray of sunshine in our lives. In the short amount of time you have been in our lives you have managed to wrap us around your finger. You have an unbelievable way of communicating with us exactly what you are wanting. Your eyes, body language, and cries tell us who you want or what you want. You still really like Mommy. I like you alot too. You have become more mobile this month. Not quite crawling on all fours but you are bear crawling and getting what you want. You are pulling up and cruising the furniture. YIKES! You much prefer to be standing up and cruising around the ottoman or couch. I keep thinking you are just going to start walking. It's hard to believe that in no time you will be completely mobile. You have NO fear and quite frankly that scares me to death. You love your big sister and you really love her toys. You are eating well. You like pears, applesauce, bananas, and carrots. You also like to eat puffs and mum mums. You started going to Sunday School. I hear you are a great listener. You are still nursing twice a day and Mommy cherishes that time with you even if you decide to eat in the middle of the night. It really does make me sad to think about you stopping all together. You are still toothless but your hair is starting to come back. It looks like it has some auburn in it. You are still wearing a size 2 diaper and we can still overlap the tabs. You are wearing 6 month clothes. You are so precious and sweet and we love you to the moon and back, sweet Brynlee Mae.

Love, Mommy

Strawberry Pickin'

We made our very first visit to Froberg's in Alvin for some strawberry pickin'. I can't believe this was the first time I had been out there. I have enjoyed their fresh vegetables for years because my mom goes out there quite a bit. We pretty much looked like we were on a field trip. I drove the "bus" or at least that is what if felt like. HA! We had Bella, Brynlee, Courtney, Ryan, my mom, her friend Nancy, and me all in the car. Thank goodness we just got a vehicle big enough for us all to fit. When we got there we were shocked to find that there was a REALLY long car line to get in to the parking lot. I would say it took us a good 30 minutes to park. Apparently we weren't the only ones with that idea. We finally got in and I took the 3 big kids to pick strawberries while Mom and Nancy shopped inside with Brynlee. I really enjoyed the experience and Courtney was so sweet making sure the little's had plenty of strawberries.

New Ride

We got a new double stroller...finally!!  We have been needing one.  We recently took a trip to the Galleria with 2 strollers.  That was pretty much for the birds!!  I took it out for a test spin and love it.   Brynlee loves sitting in the back because she can play with the tag.  Go figure.....

Silly Time with the Girlies!


Over Spring Break I decided that we needed to take some pictures with the girls.  So, we headed down to Seabrook and found us a little spot by the water and took a few pictures.  We had a lot of fun just being silly together.
